    - Free Currency Conversion Web Services? Is anyone aware of free currency conversion web services? I have an application that the user must enter the currency conversion rate and if possible I'd like them simply to pick the type of currency (and then retrieve the latest conversion information). Any help would be greatly appreciated. BBB Tag: Help with a script dealing with services Tag: 157110

    - Path info for VBscript from HTM page I would like to run a vbscript from a html page on my website. Being new to this game I made something like: Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set f=fso.opentextfile("mytext.txt", 8, true) f.writeLine "this is new text" f.close This script was placed in a html file (under Frontpage), located in folder c:\my documents\myweb. The script runs fine, but the file mytext.txt is placed in the folder C:\Documents and Setting/MyName, when I run the script under Frontpage, and it is put on my Desktop when I run the script from the HTML file. When I upload the html file to my website and run the script I get an error. Neither is what I want, because basically I want to access (for read and/or write) a textfile located in the folder with my html document with the script in it, be it local on my PC or on my Website. So, if my_file.html (with a script in it) how do I retrieve its absolute or relative path, when it can sit on my PC or the Website with my provider Thanks for any suggestions.

What I am trying to do is to update a key in the registry of the XP PC being accessed with an identifying characteristic of who is connected to it, such as the IP address or the computer name of the machine the person is coming in from, or his/her user name. Whatever I try just returns the local computer name and local username of the login at the XP RD session (which is always the same regardless of who connects to it). Any ideas?

    - Mapping printer / installing drivers (locally) via logon script. A bit of background. Majority of our users print images from a shoddy imaging software called filenet. The only way it recognises printing is from an LPT1 port. What we do is install a local printer on LPT1 and map LPT1 to the sharename of the printer in DOS. Now what i am trying to do is develop a vbscript whereby it looks for the computer name in a dat file, maps the LPT1 port, tells it which printer to install (has to be installed locally), makes it the default printer...all according the the dat file. I've done the first bit as follows with ALOT of struggle (i am not a developer by the way): '*** VBScript Logon Script version 1.0 *** ' 'This logon script should start after the batch file to check for WSH and VBScript has finished. ' 'Declaring variables Dim objFSO 'Object file system Dim objStream 'Object for entering printer.dat and shares.dat Dim strText 'Variables to contain lines from printer.dat Dim objWshNetwork 'Object network Dim objWshShell 'Object shell Dim strComputerName 'Variable which contains the PC Name Dim arrFields 'Array which contains mapping info after Split function 'Creating object objWshShell, objWshNetwork and objFSO Set objWshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objWshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") 'Creating variables for username and PC name using objWshNetwork strComputerName = objWshNetwork.ComputerName '*** CONNECTING PRINTERS *** ' 'Creating object objStream to contain printer.dat Set objStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\testing\printer.dat", 1) 'Starting a loop to read objStream and search for all mappings for a PC Name Do While not(objStream.AtEndOfStream) strText = objStream.ReadLine arrFields = Split(strText,";") 'Mapping the printer if match Err.Clear On Error Resume Next if ucase(strComputerName) = ucase(arrFields(0)) then objWshNetwork.AddPrinterConnection arrFields(1),arrFields(2) end if if Err.Number <> 0 then Wscript.Echo Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source end if Loop objstream.close The printer.dat has entries like as follows: computername;LPT1:;\\servername\sharename;"\\path to inf file for driver installations";Printer name in INF file to make default; Now i am struggling big time with the telling it which printer it should install from the dat file. My thinking is going along the lines of the "objwshShell.run rundll32" commands. I've tried adding the ucase feature to this commands, but its not having any of it. I know i am on the right lines (or so i hope so) can someone, please please please give me some tips and advice on how i can finish this off? Best Wishes...

    - Monitoring many eventlogs simultaneously Hello, I have a script (with the help of the example @ http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/scriptcenter/monitor/scrmon21.mspx) that I have turned into a service that monitors the security log for events (invalid login attempts, accounts getting locked out, yada, yada, yada) I had previously tried to use a ExecNotificationQueryAsync and OnObjectReady but when the interpreter gets to EOF, the thread dies and monitoring event logs stops. The only way I could receive real-time notices of event log entries using that method was to use the Echo method to keep the thread alive. But if I ever click the Ok button on the popup, the thread would die. Plus leaving a popup available to the desktop isn't that elegant of a solution. So after looking at the web page mentioned above I've tried to use ExecNotificationQuery inside an infinite loop. Another aspect of what I'd like to do is remotely monitor all the domain's security logs. There is a method to my madness in the following script, as I want centralized administration/notification and this script can be executed on any domain without modification, (computer names or numbers of computers don't matter to this script). Here's what I have attempted so far: 1. Dim arrNameArray() 2. Dim arrServArray() 3. Dim arrQueryArray() 4. Dim strText 5. 6. ' Index for computer name array 7. intNameCounter = 0 8. ' Index for service array 9. intServCounter = 0 10. ' Index for query array 11. intQueryIndex = 0 12. 13. strWhatDomain = "mydomain.local" 14. Const SERVICES = "_WMIServices" 15. 16. ' Get the names of all the computers in the domain and place in arrNameArray. 17. Set objDomain = getObject("WinNT://" & strWhatDomain) 18. objDomain.filter = Array("Computer") 19. 20. For Each Item In objDomain 21. ReDim Preserve arrNameArray(intNameCounter) 22. arrNameArray(intNameCounter) = Item.Name 23. intNameCounter = intNameCounter + 1 24. 25. Next 26. 27. ' How big is the array?/How many computers in domain 28. intArrSize = UBound(arrNameArray) 29. 30. ' Take the names of all the computers, append a string to the the name, and place into an array 31. For Each Item In arrNameArray 32. ReDim Preserve arrServArray(intServCounter) 33. strText = arrNameArray(intServCounter) & SERVICES 34. arrServArray(intServCounter) = strText 35. intServCounter = intServCounter + 1 36. Next 37. 38. ' Set up services 39. For i = 0 To intArrSize 40. Set arrServArray(i) = GetObject("WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate, (Security)}\\" & arrNameArray(i) & "\root\cimv2") 41. Next 42. 43. ' Set up queries 44. For Each Service In arrServArray 45. ReDim Preserve arrQueryArray(intQueryIndex) 46. Set arrQueryArray(intQueryIndex) = Service.ExecNotificationQuery ("Select * from __instancecreationevent where TargetInstance isa 'Win32_NTLogEvent' and TargetInstance.EventCode = '517' ") 47. intQueryIndex = intQueryIndex + 1 48. Next 49. 50. WScript.Echo "Service Has Started" 51. 52. Do 53. ' Debug shows that index number 5 is the domain controller which is hosting this script. 54.

Furthermore, I can only get the script to work with one computer in the Do...Loop. If I add more than one computer to the loop, no events get reported. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can monitor all the eventlogs across the domain? Thanks! Tag: Help with a script dealing with services Tag: 157016

    - Assistance needed: Can't timeout calling MSXML2.XMLHTTP control hello all -- First off, let me say that I'm a hack of a programmer ... so my apologies in advance if I'm not phrasing things quite right. I'm working on an application which needs to go out to a web page, download the content, and check a value. It needs to do this every few minutes, so I need to put in a "timeout" control in my code so that if the page load takes too long it will abort the transaction and simply log an error. However, using the MSXML2.XMLHTTP control, I just can't seem to accurately get a "complete" state returned. I've been working with the bAsync value on the actual GET request -- if it's set to TRUE, the execution happens asynchronously, and I can loop out and start checking the time. However, the ReadyState value never ever comes back as anything other than 1 (READYSTATE_INITIALIZED). According to the docs, I should be looking for READYSTATE_COMPLETE (value of 4) as an indicator of a successful response. If I set bAsync to FALSE, the code will freeze at the HTTP GET request until it has been fulfilled. If the page is successfully returned, READYSTATE_COMPLETE will be returned (value of 4). However, if there is some sort of page load error, my application never recovers and effectively dies at this point. Any assistance is most helpful - everything I've read leads me to believe that this should be possible. I've done it before using InternetExplorer controls on a local machine, but this needs to be something that a server will do - so no IE controls. The version of my msxml3.dll file is 8.40.9419 - I'm assuming that's the latest? Thanks in advance! -Douglas Toombs -----------------BEGIN CODE BELOW (debug wscript.echo line added in do ... loop to check readystate value during execution) Const READYSTATE_UNINITIALIZED = 0, _ READYSTATE_INITIALIZED = 1, _ READYSTATE_LOADED = 2, _ READYSTATE_INTERACTIVE = 3, _ READYSTATE_COMPLETE = 4 URL = "http://www.whatismyip.com/" MaxLoadTime = 15 CheckPageLoadTime = 0 PageLoadStartTime = now() Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP") Call objHTTP.Open("GET", url, TRUE) objHTTP.Send Do Until objHTTP.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE or CheckPageLoadTime > MaxLoadTime wscript.echo now() & " :" & objHTTP.ReadyState PageLoadEndTime = now() CheckPageLoadTime = DateDiff("s", PageLoadStartTime, PageLoadEndTime) Loop If CheckPageLoadTime > MaxLoadTime then wscript.echo objHTTP.ResponseText wscript.echo "HTTP GET timed out" else wscript.echo objHTTP.ResponseText wscript.echo "HTTP GET loaded in time" end if Tag: Help with a script dealing with services Tag: 157001

But, if I try to run it from vbscript using either WSH or ASP, the record identifier doesn't get returned. The following is an example of the stored procedure: CREATE PROCEDURE sp_SARF_CreateDelReq @USERID char(10), @Requester char(10), @ReqDate datetime, @EffDate datetime, @ReqID numeric output AS INSERT INTO tRequests (Requester, UserID, ReqDate, EffDate, ActionType) VALUES(@Requester, @UserID, @ReqDate, @EffDate, 2) SELECT @ReqID = @@Identity Return @ReqID GO The following is an example of the vbscript code. Now, this works well with Visual Basic, and it works well with Oracle 7.x using vbScript and WSH. But with MSSQL 2k, it doesn't return a record identifier: Function Create_Delete(UsrID, Reqsr) Dim ReqID, cmdTemp Dim SPONewUserID Set cmdTemp = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") Set cmdTemp.ActiveConnection = con cmdTemp.CommandType = 4 'Stored Procedure cmdTemp.CommandText = "sp_SARF_CreateDelReq" cmdTemp.Parameters.Refresh cmdTemp("@USERID") = UsrID cmdTemp("@Requester") = Reqsr cmdTemp("@ReqDate") = Now() cmdTemp("@EffDate") = Date() ReqID = 0 Set SPONewUserID = cmdTemp.Execute For Each prm In cmdTemp.Parameters WScript.Echo vbTab & prm.name & ": " & vbTab & prm.Value Next ReqID = cmdTemp("@ReqID") Set SPONewUserID = Nothing Set cmdTemp = Nothing Create_Delete = ReqID End Function Tag: Help with a script dealing with services Tag: 156984

    - Code reuse in VBScript w/ WMI I'm writing VBScripts as part of our WinXP deployment. I'd like to setup a reusable function that I can pass a WMI Base name and property to and have it return the value of that property. Here's an example: Function GetWMIInfo (WMIbase, ItemName) dim strComputer, objWMIService, objBaseBoardItems, objItem, colItems strComputer = "." On Error Resume Next Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from " & WMIbase,,48) For Each objItem in colItems GetWMIInfo = objItem.ItemName Next End Function My problem is that I cannot seem to reference the object property (like Win32Baseboard.model) as a variable. It just keeps coming back null. Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.

    - vbs version of DOS xcopy command? I've got a couple of .bat files that run automatically (and did the = service when I's using WIN 98, but in WIN 2000 and WIN XP) they take = over the screen--it blacks entirely when they run--at least for a second = or so and I've not figured out how to get them to run minimized or even = get them to quit taking over the entire screen for a second or two = before they drop back to a small window in the corner). The purpose of = the .bat files is copying changed data files mostly to the backup hard = drive. One line from one of the files would look like this. "xcopy d:\files\*.* h:\files /d /s /h /r /k /y /i" I figure there's gotta be an equivalent vbs line I could use in a vbs = file (yes, I'm definitely a beginner at this). Anybody can tell me how to replace a batch file with that line above = =E2=86=91 with a line from a vbs file that would do the same thing? = Switches and all? (I'll try to hammer out the entire .bat file = conversion myself, the practice will do me good I reckon.) TIA. Tag: Help with a script dealing with services Tag: 156961

    - Checking FileExistence on subweb? I'm attempting to check for the existence of a file in our intranet environment from an intranet webpage. When I use the Scripting.FileSystemObject, I can only access the server's local & mapped drives. The file that I'm trying to access is available to the intranet via an IIS subweb. Is there some way that I can check for a files existence through the subweb? or Is there some way that I could check for the existence of a valid URL rather than an FSO property? Also, the client side does have permission to the UNC of the desired file. Perhaps there's something I could do from the client side?

    - Excel WorkSheets and Subs Me Again with a new problem:-) All the computers on my network currently with the aid of a script I wrote log their computer name to a location depending on building they are in: eg London computers log to \\myserver\london Manchester computers log to \\myserver\manchester A text file is saved with the computer name as the filename in this location. In the past I have to manually compile a list of these computer and their location but now I am trying to automate it a bit. This I have done but now wish this to log automatically to a spreadsheet. This example has a problem in that each time the Sub GetAllData runs the worksheet is not changed causing the data to be overwritten and the sheet to be renamed. The end result I would like is each time the Sub runs for each region a new work sheet using the region name is created. Apart from several customised Subs I have no idea how to do this using one, the example given shows three regions however the company currently has 10 so customer subs for each one is not ideal. Here is the example.

    - Automatic Tab in Data Entry Form I am writing data entry screens for a large application, using VBScript. The users want automatic tabbing between fields. For example, when they enter a 2-digit month, 4-digit year, etc., they want the cursor to jump to the next field without having to press Tab. That was easy in Visual Basic 6, by doing a form-level check of the current field length and if it was equal to the max length for the field, doing a SendKeys "{tab}". Is there a VBScript equivalent to the Sendkeys command? Without having to use the Windows Script Host? I have tried the WSH approach without any luck.

So there should be something wrong with "ubound(document.form1.radiobutton)"! But i can't figure out what. The reason i have to use the ubound-function is that this is just a testscript for a larger vbscript where the total number of radiobuttons depends on a date-calculation.
